Staged |Jack Avery|

Five: Don't fake it, Just break it

We all go back to Zach's house and unwind, well, attempt to at least.

"Were running to Starbucks, anyone who wants anything get in the car." Zach and Corbyn grab the keys and walk to the door

"Zach grab my usual, you remember it?" I ask as Jonah gets up to go with

"Of course I do. Iced double salted Carmel white chocolate mocha with whipped cream." He smiles proudly at his remembrance

"Perfection! Thanks Zachy!" I chirp

"Just bring me a normal mocha, can you?" Jack asks

"Yeah sure, Daniel you wa- oh never mind." Corbyn laughs as Daniel is asleep on the couch

"Maybe I should go with..." I awkwardly grab my jacket and try to make a dash for the door

"Nope no room sorry!" Zach yells as they quickly shut the door

"There's two extra seats!" I yell back and hit the door

"Why do you wanna leave so bad?" Reese asks as she walks up to me

"Hey sweetie!" I smile as I pick her up and spin around

"Reese come back!" Another little girl yells as she runs up to her

"And who is this cutie." I smile as I put Reese down and crouch down next to them

"I'm Isla! I'm jacks little sister." She smiles happy as ever

"Well hi." I laugh at how excited she seems

"Your name is Nikki, isn't it?" She asks, her joy fading with the question

"yes..." I reply, almost as a question. "Why does that make you so upset?"

"Your jack's girl friend." She states again, this time almost as though she is angry

"Oh, sweetie it's not what you think, trust me." I laugh slightly

"your going to take Jack from me!" she yells, a small tear rolling down her face as she runs up the stairs leaving us all shocked

"isla! Wait!" Jack and I both run up after her

"Isla, please open the door." I ask as she locks herself in Reese's room

"She's my sister, I'll handle it. You've already done enough, don't you think?" Jack growls as he tries to sho me away

"I haven't done anything. She's a little girl who just needs an explanation, don't you think it should come from the girl she thinks is taking you away? because I sure as hell don't want you, you're all hers." I cross my arms after speaking

"if you don't want Jack, why are you his girlfriend!" Isla yells at ha through the door

"Blame Zach." We both reply In unison

"Zach?" she questions as she opens the door, rubbing her eyes

"sweetie, I would never take you're big brother away from you. I'm just some silly girl, you're his little sister. No one can ever replace you. He would never let that happen, and I know by the looks of things you wouldn't either. Now, if you don't completely hate me, I was going to take Reese to the mall for some catching up time with her and her big brother when he gets back. Would you like to come along?" I ask as I grab her hand in hopes she doesn't hate my guts

"Yes please." She smiles happily and hugs me

"Alrighty, well im assuming you're mom is here? So ask her and if she says yes I'll gladly take you." I smile and she turns to jack

"give me you're phone." She commands as she digs in his pockets

"why?" He laughs and takes her hands out

"so I can ask mom! Duh." she says in the most Duh tone I've yet to hear

"No need, if she asks I'll just say I gave you permission." He pats her head and she runs off to Reese

"why'd you have to go and do that!?" Jack whispers angerly

"Would you rather me have just left it the way it was? Her thinking I'm favoring Reese over her because I left with her and Zach to go have fun and buy her things instead of isla, her hating me for no reason, and feeling like she's going to be replaced? I get that you wanted to reassure her, but she needed to hear it from the person she was fearing. She had no reason to be scared, that's why Jack." I cross my arms and he just shakes his head

"None of that would have happened." He replies quickly

"but it would, I know. You wanna know how I know? Because it happened to me. I know I don't know her, but I didn't want her to feel that way. Especially with me and Zach being so close, we're like family. I'm going to be around off and on weather you like it or not just because Zach is like my brother, and I don't want her feeling like I'm just randomly around 'taking you' away when I want since apparently we're supposed to be a thing. Don't ask me why, just deal with it." After that, I walk back into the living room and sit down with the girls as they play Barbie dolls

Jacks going to get on my nerves.
